I was reading the man of ls and in the end it talks about the Exit status of ls. It says:



 Exit status:
0 if OK,
1 if minor problems (e.g., cannot access subdirectory),
2 if serious trouble (e.g., cannot access command-line argument).


But the thing is that i don't understand what they mean by:




cannot access command-line argument




I have never encountered a situation where i could not acces the arguments passed to my program and i was searching on the web about this particular situation and i couldn't get many information other then this site
which wasn't really clear to me and i was unable to reproduce the error. I'm not sure if i'm miss understanding the MAN page



Ps: I'm not sure if I'm miss understanding the man page or it's a real thing to can not be able to access the arguments AND thanks in advance for your answers.
